âWhat?â I was so stunned that I wondered if I had misheard.
âYou came here with Caleb?â
âYeah.
So what?â Narrowing her eyes at me, Zoe seemed to have guessed that there was a quarrel between Caleb and me.
She immediately showed a mocking expression and said sarcastically, âIt seems that youâve quarreled with Caleb over Marley.
â
I felt ashamed to have been seen through by her so quickly.
Since Zoe was distracted, Sonya seized this opportunity to flee.
âStop right there!â Zoe shouted and wanted to run after Sonya, but I stopped her.
âZoe, Adam already interrogated Sonya.
He knows that sheâs innocent, so he let her go.
â
Without saying a word, Zoe suddenly handcuffed me.
âWhat are you doing?â I asked in horror.
âIâm the officer in charge of this case.
Itâs up to me whether Sonyaâs a suspect or not.
Since you let her get away, youâre coming with me to the station.
Youâd better make everything clear then.
â
Then she leaned close and said in a low voice, âDebra, I have good reason to suspect that both you and Harlan planned the whole thing.
â
Handcuffing me in front of everyone caused quite a scene.

Everyone looked at me in astonishment.
I frowned in dissatisfaction.
âZoe, even if Iâm really a suspect, Iâm still Rileyâs assistant.
If you handcuff me in public like this, whatâll the others think? WhatâLl they think of Riley?â

Zoe replied expressionlessly, âYour reputation doesnât concern me, and
Riley canât do anything to obstruct the police investigation.
Besides, when you and Harlan lied to me, did you ever stop to consider my feelings?â
I fell silent.
Indeed, Harlan and I hid a lot of things from Zoe, and it hurt her.
âFine.
IâLL go with you.
â
I compromised and stopped resisting anymore.
When Riley saw me in handcuffs, she rushed over and said to Zoe anxiously, âZoe, please let her go.
The accident had nothing to do with her.
â
âHow can you be so sure?â Zoe asked with a sneer.
âIf Debra was the one behind it, why did she go out of her way to rescue all those injured people?â
Zoe was unconvinced.
âIâll be the one who says whether she was involved or not.
You donât need to tell me what to do.
